Yes, it could be as you say, but I don't read a clear right timing on the card text...

Furthermore the rules seem to give very high priority to the resolution of downed skills. From the rules: "Each time a player with downed skills is downed, the downed player's manager resolves these skills immediately, interrupting the active manager's turn. After completely resolving all of a player's downed skills, the active manager's turn resumes and he may resolve any other reamining standing skills icon on the card he has just played."

Each time a player with downed skills is downed, the downed player’smanager resolves these skills immediately, interrupting the active manager’s turn.

I've highlighted what I think are the key parts. If you can interrupt the opponent's turn and it is to be used immediately then I think that you would get to use it. I can see a justifiable argument either way and doubtless this is one that could use an official ruling...

I think that is is important to note that the player being downed has the potential to still be injured if his regen skill fails. The active player would then roll to see if the current Highlight card's ability injures the targeted player.

But the chance to injure is still part of the downed result action its not a seperate action that happens after. The player is downed and potentially injured, then there would be a pause moment for the downed player to interrupt and try to regen ( if he's not injured), then the other player can resume his turn. The injury check is applied immediately.

Yes, that's for sure, but my doubt is about the Regeneration ability, triggering or not after the tackle (and before the Violence at an All-time High! card).

As elgin_j quoted the rules earlier, each time a player with a downed skills is downed; the active players turn is paused and the downed skills are resolved immediately. Once the downed skills are resolved play continues. If the player with the downed skill manages to regen then the "Violence At An All-Time High" card is not enacted as there is not a downed player to injure.

Ah ok, and yes, I'm inclined to this interpretation too.

This is definitely a clash that needs an official ruling. You can make a decent argument either way and whilst I favour the use of regeneration I wouldn't be surprised if FFG ruled the other way. Unfortunately the FFG Beta forum has been closed for Sudden Death or I'd go there to try and solicit something official.
